Check the documentation methods to find controls in different gridview templates. eg ASPxGridView.FindRowTemplateControl Method

Source: http://developmentsolutionsjunction.blogspot.in/2011/11/find-controls-in-dataitemtemplate-of.html

//markup

    <dx:ASPxGridView ID="grvTest" AutoGenerateColumns="False" runat="server" DataSourceID="SqlDataSource1"
          OnHtmlRowPrepared="grvTest_HtmlRowPrepared" OnHtmlRowCreated="grvTest_HtmlRowCreated">
          <Columns>
              <dx:GridViewDataTextColumn Caption="RowID" Name="colRowID" VisibleIndex="0" Width="20px">
                  <DataItemTemplate>
                       <dx:ASPxLabel ID="lblRowID" runat="server" Text='Label'>
                      </dx:ASPxLabel>
                 </DataItemTemplate>
</dx:GridViewDataTextColumn>

//accessing template control in code-behind

protected void grvTest_HtmlRowCreated(object sender, ASPxGridViewTableRowEventArgs e)
        {
            if (e.RowType != GridViewRowType.Data) return;

            ASPxLabel label = grvTest.FindRowCellTemplateControl(e.VisibleIndex, null,
            "lblRowID") as ASPxLabel;
            label.Text = (e.VisibleIndex + 1).ToString();
        }

example code:

ASPxGridView grid = (ASPxGridView)sender;

ASPxPageControl myPages = grid.FindEditFormTemplateControl("CityEditTabs") 
                                                              as ASPxPageControl;

Some GridView code snippets to understand gridview concepts

Identify the VisibleIndex or RowHandle to get the control in particular template that you have created in your markup.

Hope above example will help you to solve your problem.

thanks I solved mi problem. I put this

Protected Sub GvEncuesta_HtmlRowCreated(sender As Object, e As ASPxGridViewTableRowEventArgs)
    If (e.RowType <> GridViewRowType.Data) Then Return

    Try
        Dim cmbRespuesas As ASPxComboBox = GvEncuesta.FindRowCellTemplateControl(e.VisibleIndex, Nothing, "ASPxCmbRespuestas")

        cmbRespuesas.IncrementalFilteringMode = IncrementalFilteringMode.Contains
        cmbRespuesas.Visible = True
        cmbRespuesas.DataSource = wcfCap.RetrieveRespuestaEncuestaxEstado(1)
        cmbRespuesas.ValueField = "Cod_Respuesta"
        cmbRespuesas.TextField = "Nombre_Respuesta"
        cmbRespuesas.DataBindItems()
    Catch ex As Exception
    End Try
End Sub
